"So, Mom's coming back with us to Great-grandma's?"
"Yeah."
Upon hearing that, Jasmine couldn't help but frown before she said anything. It wasn't that she didn't want to see Charlene. Nor was it that Jasmine didn't miss her. It had been ages since she last saw Charlene. Unusually, Charlene hadn't contacted her in over two weeks.
Now that they mentioned Charlene, Jasmine realized she did miss her a bit. But knowing Charlene would join them for the evening at Henderson Mansion meant she'd be back from her business trip. She only found out Charlene had been away when she woke up the morning after returning home.
Jasmine was secretly thrilled to find Charlene not at home. She had hoped to spend more time with Vesta during her mom's business trip. After all, meeting with Vesta would become rare once Charlene was back.
So, Jasmine had been hoping Charlene would stay away longer. But Charlene was coming back after just two days. Now that Charlene was back, she wouldn't allow Vesta to take her to school the next day.
Charlene wouldn't let Jasmine go if she knew about Vesta's car race tomorrow night. After thinking about this, Jasmine's mood took a nosedive.
She had asked Vesta to drop her at school tomorrow morning, and Vesta agreed. She thought, 'What should I do?'
Jasmine felt deflated. "Dad..."
Thorne looked over. "What's up?"
She could ask her dad to talk to Charlene about letting Vesta take her to school the following day, but that might lead to a fight between her parents. What a headache!
Jasmine lost her appetite for breakfast. However, she would compromise on the school issue and let her mom accompany her. But she was determined to go to Vesta's car race tomorrow night, no matter what.
That familiar voice—
Charlene stopped in her tracks. Peering around the corner, she saw her biological father, Henley Hawkins' profile, in full view.
Then, Thorne spoke, "Henley, you're too kind."
Charlene clenched her fist slowly. She could tell Thorne's tone was somewhat gentler than usual. Usually, Thorne reserved this kind of treatment for people he really valued. However, she doubted Thorne valued Henley because of her. It didn’t seem like Thorne was helping Henley just because of her.
After all, their meetings had become scarce since Henley divorced Charlene’s mother. Henley publicly acknowledged only Vesta as his daughter. The father-daughter bond between Charlene and Henley had long since faded.
As expected, Henley continued, "With Vesta here alone, her mother and I are worried. We'd appreciate it if you could watch out for her."

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
